Rosa DeLauro, a seasoned member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut’s 3rd district since 1991, has expressed her concerns and views through a series of tweets on May 8, 2025. DeLauro addressed pressing issues such as the cost of living crisis and political inaction, as well as commented on a significant religious development.
In her first tweet posted at 15:07 UTC, DeLauro highlighted the current cost of living crisis and criticized any potential freezing of programs that assist communities and farmers. She stated, “We are in a cost of living crisis. Freezing programs that help our communities & farmers will push families deeper into crisis.” Emphasizing her commitment to advocacy, she assured constituents: “I promise to keep fighting for our hardworking farmers and families, I refuse to let them pay for the tax cuts of billionaires.”
Later at 15:50 UTC, DeLauro criticized the Republican-controlled government during its 125th day in the 119th Congress for not passing any bills addressing the cost of living issue. She remarked on this legislative inaction with the statement: “125th day of a Republican controlled government in the 119th Congress, and no bills have been passed to address the cost of living.”
At 17:33 UTC, DeLauro turned her attention to an event within the Catholic Church. In another tweet, she acknowledged what she described as a historic moment, noting that “the first American prepares to lead the Catholic Church” as Pope Leo XIV. She expressed her hopes for his leadership by saying she is “praying for your success, your wisdom, and your moral clarity in guiding the church through these trying times.”
Rosa DeLauro was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1943 and graduated from Marymount College in Tarrytown with a Bachelor’s degree in 1964. At age 80, she continues to reside in New Haven.
